Paige could barely move in the morning she was so sore and achy so she remained in the trailer which is why she missed Jetstorm's arrival and then later Drift showing up with Slipstream in pursuit of him. The whole situation between them had been a misunderstanding and she didn't feel like getting involved. They wouldn't be leaving anyway so Paige knew she'd see them around. She examined the bruises and scrapes that covered most of her right side to see them starting to turn blue and green around the edges of the dark purple patches. She knew it would take several weeks before they disappeared. Luckily most of them were covered by the new shirt she'd borrowed from Russel.

She finally emerged from the trailer the next day though she was limping slightly. She didn't really respond to anyone other than to nod in acknowledgement as she passed them. Most of the bots were off to one side running an obstacle course anyway, but Paige didn't pay them much attention instead she went into the command center to talk to Fix-it. He had been working on the ground bridge again and she wanted to now how to turn it off and on in case he wasn't around to do so. Just then there was an alarm signaling that a Con had been detected.

"I'm picking up a Decepticon signal submerged far off shore," said Fix-it looking at the monitor.

"I have a feeling I'm about to hear the word ground bridge," said Sideswipe leaning against the wall lazily.

"I've been working on it since your last outing," said Fix-it confidently. "It will work this time."

"Will?" asked Sideswipe raising an eye ridge.

"Should," said Fix-it in response.

"It is the most direct route to our Decepticon," said Bumblebee. "Looks like we've come to a bridge. Let's cross it." The only response he got was a couple of groans. "It's an Earth saying," explained Bumblebee in exasperation.

"You may want to stick to the rallying cry," supplied Strongarm.

Bumblebee sighed in defeat. "That was a rallying cry."

"The ground bridge is set to your underwater destination," said Fix-it.

As soon as all the bots passed through, Paige hit the shutdown switch before the sea water could come through. Fix-it looked over at her in question. "We were about to get a whole lot of water over here," said Paige. "You need to remember that the ground bridge functions as a two way door. Even a fish swimming into it, could dump half the ocean into the scrapyard." There was already a rather large puddle under the ground bridge.

"That could have been a disaster," exclaimed Denny looking around his scrapyard in worry.

"Fix-it, will you please warn Bumblebee over the comm that the ship will have mini-con drones and other defenses already activated once they get inside. They need to be very careful as the Con has already reached the command center," said Paige settling down on a nearby chair to wait for the bots to return.

"Will do," said Fix-it.

"Thank you Fix-it," said Paige startling him. It wasn't often that he got thanked for the work he did.

A few hours later Fix-it reopened the ground bridge and the bots poured through with a great deal of sea water. Paige quickly shut the portal after everyone was through. Denny wasn't too happy about the salt water, but at least the whole place didn't get flooded.
